Functions
EMULSION STABILISING
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
FILM FORMING
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
SKIN CONDITIONING
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
